By being a combination of both types of bikes the Schwinn Capital 700c Men's Hybrid Bicycle is good for either fitness trails that you want to go on or if you just want a ride to work that is healthy while at the same time reliable.

I have never owned a hybrid bike, mainly I have just used the cruisers. However, this was simply because I was not aware of the hybrid ﻿﻿bike.

I always thought the fitness bikes would be great to have but I liked some of the features on the cruiser. In a hybrid bike I could have both.

So this definitely puts this style bike at the top of my list to look into trying.

3. Kent Avondale Men's Hybrid Bicycle with Sure Stop Brakes

It has a lot of features to offer, mainly that it has such an advance brake system.

I live in a hilly area myself and like the thought of having a bike that will stop when I need it to without injuring me.

Having the added security measure of the bolts to deter theft is another feature that really caught my eye.

This is a great quality bike that will last and do the job it was designed to do. In this bike you get speed, safety when applying brakes and security, what more could you ask for?

I think for safety this bike would rank towards the top. How many times have we heard of, seen or been part of a bicycle wreck caused by braking too fast?

Sudden braking can cause someone to skid on the ground and slide once down or they could go over the handle bars.

I have seen when someone went over the handle bars and it was not pleasent. This bike is designed to prevent that from happening.

It will not prevent all accidents but it can greatly reduce the chances of having one because of stopping suddenly.Kent Avondale Men's Hybrid Bicycle also has bolts on the hubs of its aluminum rims to reduce the chance of theft.

Having this feature is great for those who use the bike for work commute or on college campus.

Below I have listed the main features for this bike.

Hand crafted frame made of light weight aluminum

21 speed derailleurs and shifters

Bolts on hubs to deter theft

The frame of this bike is also made of aluminum, a popular metal for bikes because it is so light weight.

Also this bike is equipped with Shimano RevoShift SL-RS25 shifters and the Shimano Tourney RD-TX35 rear derailleur for shifting between different gears.

How to choose can be difficult though. There are a number of things to consider when choosing, because every person's tastes and needs are different. Sometimes answers can bring up more questions but since every consideration needs to be thought about these questions within questions can be very important when choosing one of these bikes. Listed below are some things to think about.

Where you live.

First consider the area you live in. Is it a hilly area that would require a bike that could handle steep climbs with ease?

Or is it a populated area that has paved riding paths?

Whichever one a hybrid bike could handle them. What about road conditions?

Are the roads in your area where you might ride your bike in good shape or do they need some work?

Consider which bike would handle the bouncing and shock better if you will be on rough terrain.

How active is your lifestyle

Are you someone who likes to try and tackle the hardest trail you can? Or do you prefer an easy ride on a paved flat trail?

The answers to these questions can help you determine which hybrid bike is best for you. Each bike has a wide range of features that can fit almost any type of trail or activity.

However, some are designed more for difficult trails even though they can be used for easy riding too. So take a look and consider how active you are before purchasing a bike.

Cost

​Cost is always something to consider before making any purchase.

Now, hybrid bikes have a wide price range. So, when you start shopping consider how much you are willing to spend on the bike. One way to determine if you want to spend a good deal is to think about what you intend to use it for.

Are you doing long distance bike tours or racing? Or would you mainly be using it for recreational purposes just every now and then?

This can really help you determine how much you are willing to spend because bikes that are intended for very hilly or mountain terrain can be a little more expensive but well worth it if that is what you want to use it for.

Final Verdict
